Being a hoarder of the internet, I have used Zotero for everything from a repository for research articles to book tracking (non-fiction/fiction), well even sometimes for grabbing web pages. I LOVE the browser extension and the ease of grabbing metadata straight from the get go. No major hussling with collecting a lot of stuff while fixing the metadata of everything you grab.
Now, I would love to hear if anyone know of any software that can do the same for music albums and films. You browse the web and everytime you find a film or an album you wan’t to reference, aka consume, later it is grabbed to you collection with all metadata included by the click of an extension.
I have tried to write a Keyboard Maestro macro that collects metadata from Allmusic (year, artist, title, genre, album cover) but being a rookie with Javascript it is a easily broken workflow - the macro is far from perfect.
So if you know of any software that can help it would be highly appreciated!
Thank you! It is very close at least. I will give it a try and see. The only feature I miss is browsing the internet (for example Allmusic.com) and finding an item I want to add, it would be great to just press one button, extension or hotkey to add it to my database with metadata included. I guess CDPedia is scriptable? I am reading into web scraping in order to learn to do this, but I am very much a rookie.
Do you know whether Bruji is still active? It looks like there hasn’t been updates for a long time.
I actually just stumbled upon a wonderful list spp that grabs metadata from IMDB, music sites as well as other kinds of media. It is called Listy. Check it out.
